The martial arts immortals in the modern world.

Chapter 445 Choice
Taiyi Immortal Gate.

After Master Taiyuan asked his disciple Chaoyang to send off Dongxu from the Tiandao Sect who came to deliver a letter, he felt a little emotional.

"It has been confirmed that there is a weapon saint standing behind Yaoguang. In fact, the reason why Yaoguang can grow so fast is not necessarily because of the strong support of Penglai Daojun, but also the full assistance of the weapon saint... Of course, it is also possible that Penglai Daojun gave Yaoguang personal guidance for the sake of the weapon saint, which allowed him to make rapid progress in his cultivation in the Cave Void, Refining Void, and Shattering Void realms. But I never thought that the weapon saint's attainments in weapon refining would be so powerful."

The head of Taiyi Sect thought of the importance of refining the top-level Taoist artifacts...

Even though this weapon saint seemed to have to rely on the accumulation of materials to refine a truly top-notch Dao weapon, the final cost might be several times that of a normal top-notch Dao weapon...

However, this level is definitely the best among the many weapon refiners in Beihai Star.

Apart from those special beings who have achieved the status of Dao Lord and have immersed themselves in weapon refining for tens of thousands of years, it is no exaggeration to say that he is the number one weapon saint in the North Sea Star.

"call out!"

At this time, two streams of light broke through the air at the same time and arrived at the residence of Master Taiyuan.

These two people...

One is the Jade Emperor.

The other one is named Hongyan.

The cultivation level of this supreme elder is not outstanding compared to other supreme elders, but his weight is comparable to that of the chief supreme elder of Taiyi Immortal Sect and even the sect leader Taiyuan Zhenjun.

Because, he is an extremely rare weapon saint-level figure in the entire North Sea Star.

During his long life, he made five Taoist instruments with his own hands!

Therefore, seeing the arrival of the Supreme Lord, Tai Yuan Zhen Jun also stood up: "Hong Yan, and Yu Huang, why are the two elders here?"

“Master, have you received the news? The Taoist Master Penglai actually spent a huge sum of money to ask the mysterious weapon saint behind Master Yaoguang to create a top-notch Taoist weapon!? This… this is unbelievable!”

Hong Yan Tai Shang's eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.

“It’s really a bit frightening.”

True Lord Tai Yuan nodded and said, "On the North Sea Star, Artifact Saints who can refine Dao weapons are extremely rare. There are so many Dao Lords in our human race, but the number of forces that possess Artifact Saints is probably less than a handful. The mysterious Artifact Saint behind Yao Guang is not only able to refine Dao weapons, but it is also possible for him to refine top-grade Dao weapons. Otherwise, it would be impossible to convince Dao Lord Penglai to place a heavy bet on him and cooperate with him to use the succession ceremony of the head of the sect to purchase refining materials from forces like us with a large sum of money to try to refine top-level Dao weapons."

The Jade Emperor beside him nodded in agreement and said, "I now truly understand why Yaoguang was able to grow to this point in just over a hundred years. With such a weapon saint supporting him from behind, he can comprehend and use any Dao weapon that suits him. It is probably not much different from having the Dao Lord personally guiding him."

"good."

Master Tai Yuan smiled and said, "It's just that... he wants to use this opportunity to purchase top-notch Dao weapon materials... I'm afraid he's overthinking it. Top-notch Dao weapon materials are often strategic materials for some of the top sects, not to mention immortal weapon materials. If he can take out one or two immortal weapon materials, it won't be a problem to exchange them for a top-notch Dao weapon."

“The Taoist Master Penglai plundered all the collections in the Tianhai Sword Pavilion, and she has entered the demon tribe’s heartland more than once, plundering demon tribes and demon saints one by one. She is very wealthy, and no one knows how rich she is. Now she has personally guaranteed that Yaoguang will buy the top Taoist tools and even immortal tools at double the price... There may be some forces tempted.”

The Jade Emperor’s fair evaluation.

"Double the price..."

When Master Taiyuan thought of this, he fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he said, "You mean..."

"The double price itself has the effect of impressing people. Plus, we can take this opportunity to establish a good relationship with Yaoguang, a natural genius who has the potential to merge with the Dao, and the mysterious Artifact Saint behind him. It is possible that some forces will sell top-notch Dao artifact materials to this mysterious Artifact Saint in a semi-favorable manner out of these considerations. With this friendship, it will be easier to strike up a conversation with this Artifact Saint if we want to ask him to help refine a top-grade Dao artifact in the future."

The Jade Emperor said.

After hearing this, Master Tai Yuan couldn't help but look at Master Hong Yan: "What do you think?"

If Hong Yan Tai were to use these top-notch Dao weapon materials, it would definitely greatly improve his efficiency in refining Dao weapons. If all the immortal weapon materials were used...

There is great hope of refining it into a top-grade Taoist weapon.

Therefore, whether to send these materials out, he still has to consider the opinion of Hong Yan Tai Shang.

"Yaoguang is a Shattered Void who has only been promoted to the Shattered Void for a few decades. No matter how talented he is and how many Taoist arts he has mastered, if he wants to be on the Dao Lord Candidates List... especially the top ten on the Dao Lord Candidates List, in addition to his own strength, he must also rely on external forces, that is, high-grade Dao weapons! Dao weapons made by the mysterious Artifact Saint himself!"

Hongyan Taishang said, carefully: "So, I plan to go to Yaoguang's succession ceremony with the headmaster. I want to personally see those high-grade Taoist tools on him, and based on those high-grade Taoist tools, I can judge the specific weapon refining attainments of the mysterious weapon saint!"

"Oh, Elder Hongyan is planning to go there too?"

"Yes, if Yaoguang is willing to let me see the top-grade Taoist weapon he has made from the mysterious weapon master, we can sell them a portion of the top-grade Taoist weapon material at the original price."

Hong Yan Tai Shang said, and then added: "I will make up for the losses personally."

"You are too polite, Elder. You are observing the top-grade Taoist tools in order to improve your own tool-refining attainments. The sect can still afford this expense."

Master Tai Yuan said, smiling, "But... why not just meet that mysterious weapon master?"

"He will not agree to show up during this period."

Hongyan Taishang said with great certainty.

"Oh? Why?"

Master Taiyuan was a little curious.

As both are masters of instruments, isn't it normal for them to meet, communicate and promote each other?
"Master, you have not yet realized the true significance of the news that this weapon saint is trying to refine a top-level Taoist weapon."

Hong Yan said, shaking his head: "No, not only you, the head, I'm afraid no one realizes the significance of refining this top-notch Taoist weapon!"

This weapon saint was somewhat envious, respectful, and yearning: "In addition to the three thousand great ways, there is also the theory of the unorthodox way. Since ancient times, rumors of skills being close to the Tao have been heard frequently. A weapon saint who can refine top-grade Taoist tools at the Shattered Void Realm, his dedication to refining tools, his research and understanding of the art of refining tools, absolutely meets the standard of 'skills being close to the Tao'. Once he can take advantage of this opportunity to successfully refine a top-notch Taoist tool, his spiritual will will be completely transformed. At that time, he will most likely use this sublimated state to enter the Tao through tools and achieve the state of harmony with the Tao in one fell swoop!" "Enter the Tao through tools!?"

"He Dao!?"

When Master Taiyuan and Jade Emperor heard what Hong Yan said, they were both shocked.

Especially True Lord Tai Yuan, who realized something very quickly: "You mean, the reason why Taoist Lord Penglai spent hundreds of billions, or even hundreds of billions of dollars to support the mysterious weapon saint behind Yao Guang to refine top-notch Taoist weapons, is actually to help him achieve enlightenment? Using this unorthodox method to first enter the Dao with weapons, and then with a spiritual sublimation posture, truly step into the realm of harmony with the Dao?"

"Yes."

Hongyan Taishang nodded heavily: "Two or three hundred billion, or even three or four hundred billion, what kind of top-notch Taoist tools can't be bought? But if this mysterious tool saint can really use tools to enter the Tao and become a Taoist monarch, then in the future he will be able to refine more than just top-notch Taoist tools. At least he will be qualified to refine semi-immortal tools, or even..."

He paused, with a hint of fanaticism in his eyes: "A real immortal weapon!"

Immortal weapon!

These two words made the two people's hearts tremble violently.

Although refining immortal weapons is just a vision for the future, but...

Even a semi-immortal weapon can instantly enhance the combat power of a Taoist master.

By that time, in every Dao Competition, except for a few tracks such as the Avenue of the Void, who can stand out will probably depend on who can make friends with this mysterious weapon saint and obtain the semi-immortal weapon he refines!
"Elder Hongyan means... that we should invest in that mysterious weapon master in advance?"

Master Tai Yuan asked.

"The risk is huge. After all, whether it is to enter the Dao through a weapon or to successfully merge with the Dao in the end, it is a huge challenge for him. At best, because of the path taken by this mysterious weapon saint, it is easier for him to succeed on the road to merging with the Dao than others, including Yaoguang."

At this point, Hong Yan Tai Shang changed the subject: "But if he really succeeds... that would be a great thing that would benefit future generations, for all of us, without exception..."

These words made Master Taiyuan and Jade Emperor look at each other in dismay, unable to make a decision for a moment.

"From the fact that the mysterious weapon saint cultivated Yaoguang and convinced the Taoist Master Penglai, we can see that he should be proficient in the two types of Taoist arts, the void and the origin. He even chose to join the Tiandao Sect instead of other forces... Maybe he also has some knowledge of the truth path... Coincidentally, don't we have a material that can be used as a void-type immortal weapon? If we want to invest, we have the qualifications."

“This is an investment cost of hundreds of billions!”

Master Tai Yuan couldn't help but say.

"So, I can't make this decision. You guys should discuss it. It would be best to contact Daojun and ask him to make the final decision."

Hong Yan Tai Shang said, and added: "Anyway, there is still some time before the succession ceremony."

"You should go and meet the mysterious weapon master."

Master Tai Yuan said in a deep voice: "We don't know the specific attainments of that mysterious weapon saint... Only when you meet him can we make a final judgment."

“I told you, it’s hard.”

Hong Yan said: "At this time, he must have put all his thoughts and energy into refining that top-notch Taoist weapon. It is almost impossible for ordinary people to see him."

He glanced at Master Tai Yuan and said, "Master, you are about to reach the He Dao realm. How can you be distracted by other things? Especially... when your identity and position are exposed and you may be sniped by others."

"He hasn't even started the Dao yet."

Tai Yuan Zhen Jun said: "Moreover, an extremely valuable immortal weapon material, I think, is very convincing."

After hearing this, Hong Yan fell into deep thought.

After a while, he said, "If the headmaster trusts me, I can give it a try. Although I can't refine a top-grade Dao weapon, I think I have enough attainments in weapon refining. If I can meet the mysterious weapon saint in person and have a conversation with him, I can basically tell what his level is... I can also tell whether he is worth our huge investment."

"Of course I trust you, Elder Hongyan."

Master Tai Yuan said this carefully.

Then he continued, "But this matter is of great importance. I will convene a meeting of the Supreme Elders and contact Emperor Hui Daojun... Daojun is only a few decades away from our Beihai Star, and we will get a response soon. Then we will make the final decision at the meeting."

Hong Yan Tai Shang nodded.

In fact, he was very excited.

Not only him, but also Master Taiyuan is the same.

After all, if this investment is successful, it can bring huge benefits to Taiyi Sect.

Taiyi Immortal Sect acted quickly.

In less than a day, the meeting of the Supreme Elders was convened.

The response from the Taoist Emperor Hui was equally quick.

In just one day, this Taoist Lord and other Supreme Elders of the Supreme Elders' Council had come to a conclusion.

Believe in the vision and judgment of Hong Yan, the Weapon Saint, and let him meet the mysterious Weapon Saint behind Yaoguang.

Make this matter...

Give full authority to Hong Yan to make the decision.
